Vasectomy Reversal Surprise! Why Arie and Lauren Decided to Expand Their Brood Again
Here's the backstory you might not know. Arie actually had a vasectomy after their twins Senna and Lux were born. He thought they were done having kids. But things changed! A few weeks ago Arie and Lauren shared on YouTube that Arie had a vasectomy reversal. Turns out he had some second thoughts and felt like maybe they had rushed into closing the baby chapter.
Arie admitted he felt it was mostly his decision to get the vasectomy initially. Lauren mentioned Arie booked the procedure without even really talking to her about it six months after the twins arrived. But lately Arie said he had been watching their kids at their current ages and just got this feeling like "Dang it I think we could do this again."
Lauren confessed she had come to terms with being done having babies so this was a bit of a surprise for her too. But she is getting on board with baby number four and it sounds like Arie is totally thrilled. They even joked in their YouTube video about "baby number 4 coming soon" and now it's actually happening!
From Bachelor Drama to Family Dreams: Arie and Lauren's Love Story Continues

Despite the rocky start Arie and Lauren's connection was undeniable. They got engaged for real during the "After the Final Rose" special and tied the knot in 2019.
